All these years hanging out here and at GG. Not one reply?Maybe if I cursed more and put down religion.

Sometimes guys, sometimes.

And what did you expect? Your post was very specifically directed at Canadians, what with the we's and our's. Therefor you reply to not getting attention from non-canadians by being insulting?! Yeah what ever, eh. Happy canadian thanksgiving, you knob.

Basically, yes. The common belief is that we're more north, and harvest comes sooner, that thanksgiving happens earlier in the year.

And here I was thinking the only thing that grows up there were Moose and Hockey players.

And Beavers. How could you forget those? But yep, we're further north, so it gets colder quicker, the harvest happens sooner, and so we celebrate it earlier. I'm surprised this year though as it seems fairly warm for this time of year. We're used to it snowing by the time Halloween comes around. The Northern States could just as easily celebrate it in October due to the similar conditions.

That is correct. As a matter of fact, the Pilgrims actually hid from the Indians when they initially showed up on a Wednesday. When Thursday rolled around, they strolled back into the settlement and acted surprised to see the natives.

...then we gave them smallpox when they weren't looking.
